I got 21/7 is that right?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'M AFRAID IT ISN'T RIGHT.
7-3Y=9X ADD 7 TO BOTH SIDES.
-3Y=9X-7 DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY -3
Y=9X/-3-7/3 REDUCE THE X TERM
Y=-3X-7/3 ANSWER WHICH GIVES A SLOPE (m) OF -3 IN THE LINE EQUATION Y=mX+b
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 7 - 3y = 9x and I have to find the slope
-----------------
Solve for y:
3y = -9x+7
y = -3x+(7/3)
-----------------
slope = -3
y-intercept = 7/3
--------------------------------
